Rapeseed Oil Meal Studies

No . 3458 Nutritional value of rapeseed oil

Postprandial lipoprotein, glucose and insulin responses after two consecutive meals containing rapeseed oil, sunflower oil or palm oil with or without glucose at the first meal.

There is increasing evidence that the degree of postprandial lipaemia may be of importance in the development of atherosclerosis and IHD. Postprandial lipid, lipoprotein, glucose, insulin and non-esterified fatty acid (NEFA) concentrations were investigated in eleven healthy young males after randomized ingestion of meals containing rapeseed oil, sunflower oil or palm oil with or without a gluc...

Environmental impact of replacing soybean meal with rapeseed meal in diets of finishing pigs.

The major impact of the livestock sector on the environment may be reduced by feeding agricultural co-products to animals. Since the last decade, co-products from biodiesel production, such as rapeseed meal (RSM), became increasingly available in Europe. Consequently, an increase in RSM content in livestock diets was observed at the expense of soybean meal (SBM) content. Cultivation of SBM is a...

Formaldehyde treatment suppresses ruminal degradation of phytate in soyabean meal and rapeseed meal.

Most of the P in oilseed meal is in the form of phytate P, and phytate forms complexes with protein. Phytate P has been considered to be absorbed easily in ruminants because of phytate degradation in the rumen. Treatment of oilseed meals with formaldehyde improves the nutritional value of protein through suppressing its ruminal degradation. The present experiment was conducted to study the effe...

Ruminal lipid balance and intestinal digestion by dairy cows fed calcium salts of rapeseed oil fatty acids or rapeseed oil.

The effects of supplemental calcium salts of rapeseed oil fatty acids (FA) and rapeseed oil on ruminal metabolism and apparent digestibility of lipids in the small intestine were studied using three multiparous Holstein x Friesian cows in a 3 x 3 Latin square design. Cows fitted with ruminal, duodenal, and ileal cannulas were fed restricted amounts of a control diet (C) containing 65% corn sila...
